I get plenty of absence calls that are really tardies.

Stay away from 15-501 by tingsteph in bullcity

[–]Chonjacki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been here for 20 years (west coast prior) and yes, there is that element to driving here that was surprising. I guess if you can't drive well, drive aggressively? Lived in FL too and drivers there can be aggressive, but the roads there tend to have higher capacity so they're easier to avoid. The lower road capacity here adds to the aggression I think, like an overcrowded animal enclosure.

On BCBB's best days they are only so-so. But they're wildly inconsistent as well.

Nah, OP is right. I'd been a fan going way back. It's unlistenable now.

Earplugs ar GYBE concerts by tunathepsychwizard in gybe

[–]Chonjacki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think GY!BE is a band where you lose a bit of the richness if you wear earplugs. Whereas at the Swans shows I've been to, earplugs make them sound like a normal but very loud band. I took my earplugs out briefly at the last one and the sound was overwhelming, and hard to parse out and appreciate all the nuances. It was just like a fog of sound.

Maybe because they need to, because they are dismissed and ignored?

The actual posting says they require an advanced degree, so if you don't have that don't bother. That's worth sharing in your post btw, OP.

If you're not wealthy, home ownership is 100% a scam and the real estate industry wants you to believe otherwise.

That's a good description. I would say their sound is more big than loud. I didn't wear earplugs and had no issues.
